Because I will not be doing infrastructure monitoring. I'm querying servers and applications running on servers (could even be PHP scripts) for actual information which I will use in the applications. > > Anyway, if you've been told every millisecond counts, you need to know > *why*. Do you? I do. And he's not exaggerating. But again, I can't go into the details. I'm absolutely 100% sure that anyone here would agree with me that every millisecond counts. But I can't say any more about it and it's useless to discuss whether it's actually needed when I can't explain why. Just believe me. Thanks again to all. By monday I will get back in touch with my client and I will present him with options I think are usable. If anyone has any comments on how to do this, please share them. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
